GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Homestead is a diverse environment with many clubs and activities, and we are known for good academics and many students going on to good colleges, but the environment gets too competitive with even teachers preferring students that overload their resume than students who work hard.

Overall great school, though it does lack in cleanliness in the bathrooms and the food is not very good, there aren't very many choices.

school lacks a wide variety of ap's, compared to other schools in the district. also has such low competitivness within the student body, making it unbearable to go to school. most of the math and science teachers arent very good, with really easy tests and quizzes that does not extract the best students compared to schools like lynbrook and monta vista. ela and language buildings are really outdated, esp the bathrooms, which are impossible to use. pe teachers are a joke of subject. for your best interests, i recommend you go to cupertino, monta vista, and lynbrook high for a better environment. everything you learn in ela as a freshman is just the same thing taught in 5th grade, what a joke. i have no clue how this school is ranked 38 in the state, with such a deplorable and unacademically bright students.

This school is a unique type of evil. I was one of the top students at my old school and in this new one I am struggling just not to fail. The administration is the worst part of the school with you being suspended for minor things that shouldn't even get someone reprimanded like using the s-word. T...
